Maybe this has been already says but to be able to organize forums into categories and to be able to open/close categories, would be great.

I think he may be talking about the PhPBB style of being able to click on a category in the forum index page and have just the forums in that category displayed. For example, if you have a full display of:

Cat1
   F1A
   F1B
Cat2
   F2A
   F2B
Cat3
  F3A

Clicking on Cat2 would give you:

Cat1
Cat2
   F2A
   F2B
Cat3

FWIW, this is not a core code thing but can be done fairly easily in the Templates using CSS and Javascript. There is a posting around about who to do this.
